Val Ceno holds a natural treasure: Monte Penna, nestled among dreamlike landscapes. It is here that we can find ophiolites, moon-looking rocks formed on the bottom of ancient oceans and subsequently raised. They create a carpet of colors and shapes, testifying to a thousand-year geological history. Their surfaces, which vary from dark green to black, create fascinating contrasts with the green of the surrounding vegetation. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, leaving room for the wonder of nature. Walking on the paths of Monte Penna, you can discover the richness of the local flora, including rare plants and wild scents. And for wildlife enthusiasts, it is possible to spot protected species and encounter wild life in all its beauty. But it’s not just an experience for the eyes. It is a sensory journey, where every step resonates with the history of the earth and every panorama opens new doors to the imagination. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a simple lover of nature walks, Monte Penna offers routes for all levels, promising an unforgettable adventure in one of the most fascinating areas of Italy.
